Abstract
- Polymorphisms in inflammatory genes such as interleukins 17A and 17F are associated with the risk of development of periodontitis, although the results remain contradictory. Hence, the aim of this study was perform a meta-analysis focusing on two polymorphisms (rs2275913 and rs763780) in interleukins 17A and 17F genes, respectively, in both chronic (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP). A review in literature was performed in several databases for studies published before 25, September 2016. The meta-analysis was obtained through the review manager statistical software (version 5.2) with odds ratio (OR) calculation and funnel plot (P < 0.05) for heterogeneity, as well as the comprehensive meta-analysis software (version 3.3.070) for the assessment of publication bias. Seven articles with 1540 participants composed the results in which the mutant allele in the rs2275913 polymorphism did not present significant association with the risk of CP or AgP (OR 1.56, 95% CI 0.77, 3.15, P = 0.21; OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.05, 23.44, P = 0.94, respectively) nor was the mutant allele in rs763780 associated with the risk of CP (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.80, 1.76, P = 0.39) or AgP (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.63, 1.84, P = 0.79). No bias of publication was observed by Egger's and Begg's tests in any allelic evaluation. This meta-analysis showed a non-significant association between the polymorphisms rs2275913 and rs763780 in interleukins 17A and 17F genes and chronic and aggressive periodontitis in the allelic evaluation.
